five things friday.

five little things before the {big} weekend:

1. remember when i surprised lovebird at work for his birthday?

go check out the genius {and talent} behind the cake pops!

she has an adorable blog full of incredible crafts and the most delicious goodies.

and on top of that, she's one of a kind. i love her dearly.

2. we have a fun trip planned with my best friend and her hubby.

can't wait to meet them "in the middle" at lake tahoe.

say hello to a much needed trip with them, time to just chill, 

and the beauty of such a gorgeous place.

3. i'm so excited to spend my birthday weekend with lovebird.

he has hidden boxes from j.crew, a weekend getaway planned in the city and 

i can already tell he's spoiled me rotten.

why am i so lucky to be married to such a gem?

4. sunshine is the souls best medicine, while

a sunburn is the skin's worst nightmare.

i've experience the love and hate of both this week.

i blame the burning desire to read my book out in the sun. pun intended.

by the way, i finished my book already. loved it.

i'm not going to tell you again- read it now! 

5.a few of my favorite things from this week include:

crisp and clean bed sheets, sally hansen nail strips, a morning date with

my {other} best friend, lovebird's laugh attack, yogurt mill,

the product of a clean house after slave work,

dry shampoo, reading, mac's new russian red lip gloss, and 

complete freedom in the evenings as a result of not having rehearsal.
